his wife quarrcled with him. A few
days ago she had him arrested for assault,
and shortly afterwards she disappeared
with all his money. He makes public the
sad announcement that she has left his

all that she did leave. However if any-
body trusts or harbors her on Bond’s ac-
count, he won’t settle.

moncd last Tuesday to Marlboro, his for-
mer home, by a dispatch announcing that
his father had been killed by the ears on
a crossing near East Hampton, on the
Air Line road. He was riding with a
companion, and their wagon was struck
by the cars at this crossing which has al-
ways been considered a dangerous one, as
the track can be seen for only a few rods
in each directon. Mr. Barrows was killed
instantly, and his companion, Thomas
Canning, J r., lived only a few hours.
The horse was knocked a considerable dis-
tance, but was not seriously injured.
Mr. M. B. Ferris entertained a large
party of friends, principally members of
the Elks Lodge, at his rooms on Fairficld
avenue Bridgeport last Saturday night,
with a coon and turkey supper. It was a
merry party of congenial spirits that sur-
ounded that festive board, and the feast
of reason that seasoned the sumptuous
banquet was rich and refreshing. Witty
sallics and spicy salads went together;

harmonious unison with the music of song
and the clicking of dishes, and all the
guests, with one accord, voted Mr. Ferris
a generous host and an agrcea blc enter—
tainer.

mains were taken to Winsted for inter-
ment on Saturday. Deceased was a bro-
therflof Rev.W. J. Slocum of Norwalk and
also a brother of Michael J. Slocum, dep-
uty sheriff of Winsted. “Tom” was a fine
specimen of physical manhood,with a gen-
ial disposition and a big heart, whose
gentle, sympathetic nature could not be
kept from asserting itself despite the cer-
tain degree of gruffness that was acquired
by years of intimate association with cir-
cus charact' rs.
Haverly’s Mastodon Minstrels will ap-
pear in the Opera House to—morrow eve-
ning. This will undoubtedly be the best
minstrel show that our citizens Wlll have
an opportunity to see this season, and
there should be a large attendance, as
there probably will be, for, as Rosie Rowe
would have us understand. our people
know how to appreciate minstrelsy. The
Des Moines Register says:
The Haverly Minstrel Company this
season is composed of a fine looking body
of young men of pleasing address. They
are a vigorous and ambitious collection,
and they gave the most delightful enter-
tainment ever given here. It is without
exception the best Minstrel Company Mr.
Haverly has ever put together. Our citi-
zens who were fortunate enough to attend
the show last evening will not be enter-
tained as royally until Mr. I-Iavcrly books
his great show in Des Moines again.

Madame Mojeska, that charming ac-
tress whose reputation is national and in-
ternational, is to appear in Music Hall
about holiday week, when our citizens
will have one of those rare opportunities
to witness a really first class rendering of
standard drama by an artiste in whom
critics find no flaw, and whose fame and
popularity are hers by virtue of her merit
and worth alone. Madame Mojeska has
been characterized as “one of those few
fortunate artists whose gifts of talent are
readily acknowledged by theircontempor-
arics: she is an actress, in the estimate of
whose art all critics are at one.” Madame
Mojeska is'fllling an engagement at the
Madison Square Theatre in New York,
under the management of J. M. Hill,
which will terminate Dec. 19th, and any
of our citizens who happen in the Metrop-
olis to stay over night, should not fail to
see her.

the comforts of a refined home to pass the

a hope of escaping serious complication
through the healing atmospheric condi-

a few months since procured a clerkship
in the Broad street banking house of
Blake, Bros. & Co., and so rapidly did he
win the confidence and esteem of his em-

threatened a short time since with a ser-
ious malady, he was given a vacation and
a bonus of $300 and sent to the country
to recuperate, with his salary continued.
But not recovering, his firm has now ex-
tended his leave :and pay to April next,
and also made him afree gift of $500 more
with which to defray the cost of his win-
ter’s sojourn at Colorado Springs. The
prayers of every friend of the “widow’s

restoration to complete health of this true
and noble boy.

Thanksgiving Day.
This time honored festival of the heart
. and the home occurs on Thursday. Start-
ing out as an especial New England ob-
servance, it has now extended throughout
the Nation and all other lands, where the
children of New England are found. We
have filled our outside pages with thclitcr-
ature of the day and it is not needful to
urge our readers to read and enjoy all
thereto belonging to that glorious and good
Thanksgiving day Rev Dr. Anderson
preached about as practically good a
Thanksgiving sermon as we ever heard, in
a few words, at the conclusion of his Sun-
day discourse at the Opera House,said be:
“We have no church this year within
which to hold our usual religious service,
but you my people, can do and en-
joy 3. much better thing, by taking a has-
ket of supplies on your arm and going out
and distributing some of the good things
the Lord has blessed you with, among the
poor and the sick. Thus will your joy be
greater than could come from any more

Burglary.
Last Tuesday evening while Mr. W. S.
Moody and his family were at the Ker.
messc, and no one home but the servants,
some thief or thieves stole his 16-foot lad-
der which was standing near his barn,
and with it mounted the lean-to roof and
entered a bed room window in the second
story and proceeded to rummage the
house. They found Mrs. M’s. purse and
stole about $75 in money and several dol-
lars in rare coins their son had col-
lected when abroad, and other air.
ticles to the value of some $200 or uiorc.
One curious circumstance about the theft
was the disappearance of the ladder,
which was also carried off. This would
lead to the supposition that the thieveS
came up in a boat in the rear of Mr.
Moody’s residence, as no sound cf :1 wag-
on was heard and people were passing
constantly in front and yet nothing unusu-
al was seen and no traces of the burglars
can be found.

Where and How To Build.
The above is the title of a volume of
plans and sketches of new' designs for
cottages, villas, town houses, churches,
ctc., issued by Hubert, Pierson d: 00., 19
East 28th street, New York. It shows
rare good taste and careful study of in-
terior as weil as exterior working plans,
and is well worth the study of anyone
proposing to build a house, however plain
and humble, as well as elaborate. This is
the firm with whom our young townsman,
F. H. Pcekwcll, is employed, and who has
charge of all their suburban and out of
town engagements. It could not be in
better hands.

Undertaking. -
——Mr. J. A. Lockwood, who was Mr. Wm.
E. Quintard’s capable and efficient assist-
ant undertaker, has very successfully con-
tinued the business, in the interests of the
estate and widowed mother. He has al-
ready had several interments put in his
charge, which he has conducted in an en-
tirely satisfactory manner. The same
tender and delicate observance of all the
requirements and propricties of f uuernl
occassions, seem to be observed as natur-
ally by him, as they used to be by his de-
parted chief. This is a matter of as much
public, as it is of private interest.
Rev. Mr. Anderson.
The pastor of the First Congregational
church gave notice that his people were
invited to worship next Sunday at the
Baptist church, on the green, in consc-
quencc of not being able to have the Opera
House, and flint he should not preach.
Since then it has been arranged to have
Dr. Anderson preach at the Baptist church
both morning and evening next Sunday.
This announcement we think will be grati-
fying to manp not connected with either,
or any church.

Detectives Get the Adams Express Com-
pany Into a Law Suit.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-—-A suit for $50,000
damages has been begun in the circuit court
by E. D. Coleman against the Adams EX-
press company. This is one result of the do-
tectivo agency’s efforts to ferret: out the ox—
press robbery. Mr. Coleman complains that
on the night of Nov. 9, at 11 o’clock, while
he was lying sick with fever at: a bording
house in Topeka, Kan, his mom
was invaded by three employes of
Pinkerton’s detective agency, who, re-
gardless of his ciifeebled condition, proceeded
to ransmk his room and all its contents and
to annoy him with questions. He alleges
that they opened his business and private
correspondence and read it; unlocked his
valiso and perused its contentr; examined
his clothing, and compelling him to move,
examined the bed clothing for correspon-
dence, and hinted at his arrest, one of the de-
tectives remarking that he believed at last
they had struck the right man. A detective
was left in the hall to watch the movements
of the plaintiff. On the following day he
was accosted in a store by two men of the
same detective agency, and he was in duress
for a. short; time.
On the Saturday following he came to St.
Louis, and was approached in his room by
agents of the descendants, who insisted upon
his going to the Southern hotel to answer
certain questions, or else to surrender cer-
tain private papers and correspondence.
His wife made a romonstrance on account of
his sickness, but it had no effect, and he was
perplexed, harassed, mortified, annoyed and
exposed to groundless suspicion. He alleges
that his private affairs were exposed, and h!
reputation was injured. For all of which he
asks $50,000 damages.
THE JURY OUT,
But No Verdict in tho Case of
Boodle Aldermnn.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—Arthur J. Mc-
Quade, once an alderman of the great city of
New York, went back to the Tombs'Tast
night at midnight, while the twelve jurors
who will decide whether he is to be an in-
male of Sing Sing were locked up in the
brown stone court house on Chambers street.
The testimony was all in by 1:30 o’clock,
the counsel on both sides summed up and at
8:45p. m. Recorder Smyth had concluded
his charge, and the jury, after a. hearty sup-
per, began a. consideration of the case. The
general impression was that as the jury had
failed to find McQuade guilty after three
hours’ deliberation a disagreement was not
only possible but probable.
The court room has been crowded every
day of the trial, but yesterday it was literally
packed with politicians and officials of liigb
and low degree, who listened with closest at-
tention to the speeches of Mr. Newcombe and
Col. Fellows and the charge of Recorder
Sinytli.
It was said that the jury, after discussing
the subject for some time, took nvote just
before midnight, the result being seven in
favor of conviction an! five for acquittal.

Four Widows for One Fortune.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, Nov. 23.—Will Sar-
gent died in the asylum here. For several
yourshe traveled about the state, marrying
and courting to a remarkable degree. He
was a most successful bigamist. He actually
married four women, who, with families
more or less large, are still living, and he was
at various times on the point of joining him-
self to several others, the number being
placedas highas twenty. He was exposed
in several places, driven out of town and
arrested. On his trial it was proven he was
insane on the subject of marrying, while
otherwise perfectly rational, and he was
committed to the asylum. He was a man of
fine address, and leaves considerable prop-
erty. TVhich of his widows will get it is not
known.
SOSTO‘i’S MAYOR.
Renomiuateil and a. Labor
Candidate In the Field.
Bos1'ox,Nov. 23,—Hugh O’Brien was last
night i'enominated for mayor by the Demo-
cratic ward and city committee.
The preliminary labor committee is com~
plating its work of securing signers to the
pledge to vote for George E. McNeil for
mayor and to use all honorable means to se-
O’Brien
labor. Mr. McNeil has agreed to stand pro-
vided 7,000 voters are pledged to him. Over
5,000 are now on the roll. The required num-
ber of names, judging from present figures,
should be obtained before Thursday night.
Headquarters have been established and per-
manent working organiZation effected. As
soon as Mr. McNeil is on nomination, on the
basis mentioned, Henry George will come
here and speak out doors and in, in the some
way as he did in New York. Mr. McNeil
was found in the co—operative printing es-
tablishment. He was hatless and contless,
hard at work. “Yes, I had a. long talk with
Mr. George,” said he in response to the re-
porter’s query. “He is very much interested
in the situation in Boston and if once a nom-
ination is made will do all he can to assist it.”
Mr. McNeil is constantly receiving letters
urging him to stand for mayor and prom-
ising assistance. “What are the Republicans
going to do about o. mayoralty nomination?”
said he. A labor confrero who stood by
ventured the suggestion that they might per-
suade (ax-Alderman Whitten to run, and
added that it would not be strange if the
County Democracy should join the labor
movement. At a. meeting of prominent labor
men about another matter the subject of Mr.
McNeil’s candidacy was brought up, and
every man present spoke Warmly in favor of
the plan and promised his support. In-
quiries about the headquarters of District 80

IRISH TENANTS AND POLICE OFFI-
CERS COME TOGETHER.
It; In Regarded as Indicating the New
Tory Regime—Jilin Irlsli Question to
be Taken Up Next by Mr.
Morley.
V00 k
LONDON, Nov. 23,—For the first time since
Gladstone’s defeat an eviction nfl'i-ay has tor-
minatcd in a violent attack by the ' police on
the people. It occurred at Listcwal, county
Kerry. Some bailiffs seized a number of cat-
tie in an action for rent and a fight ensued.
The police went to the assistance of the bail-
iffs, and with batons and bayouets' succeeded
eventually in dispersing the mob after wound-
ing several of its members. This unfortunate
affair, following so quickly on the heels of
Sir Robert; Hamilton’s dismissal, will untur-
elly be associated in the public mind with the
inauguration of the new Tory regime.
Mr. Morley is going to speak next was]:
on the Irishquestion. It is confidently ex-
pected that he will make a. strong speech in
favor of home rule and against concessions
or compromise with tho Unionists involving
sacrifice of principles. He will review the
attitude of the government and ' the speeches
of Lord Salisbury and Lord Churchill in con-
nection with coercion, and announce the
firm intention of the Liberal leaders to resist
by all the means in their power any steps the
ministry may propose in the direction of a.
coercive policy. He will on the same oc-
casion expose the true state of affairs
between the the. tenants and landlords on
the Clanricarde estates and denounce the con-
duct of the latter and hold him responsible
for the difficulties that have arisen in that
part of the country. This speech will give an
immense impetus to the anti-eviction move-
ment in Ireland, and do much to en-
lighten English and Scotch opinion as to the
tune nature of the struggle now going on
across the channel between the owners and
occupiers of the land. In the meantime
proofs thicken that the government has gone
in head foremost for what is termed vigor-
ous action. That the attack of the police on
the people at the eviction affray above re-
ferred to is one of the first fruits of that res-
olution no observer of political movements
here could for a moment doubt.
Nobody knows whether the European dead-
lock is to end in peace or war. The foreign
office, whose opiuionin favor of peace was
quoted last night, still holds fast; to the b9-
lief that the czar will give way in time to
nvoidu winter campaign and useless waste
of blood and treasure. But of this there -is.
no visible sign. War is still on the cards.
There is a growing suspicion that Russia. is
delaying active operations until the winter
sets in, when large bodies of troops, suddenly
set in motion, might seize and hold the
strategic points on the threatened frontiers
before Austria. and England could take the
field, thus achieving by a. coup do main all
that could be accomplished by a. campaign.
One of the worst elements of the situation
is the horribly uncertain temper of the
czar, who, in his present state of irrita-
tion and excitement, is liable at any time
tothrow off all the restraints of prudence,
and plunge the whole of Europe into war.
There is a. general impression that; the sup-
posed combination between England, Austria
and Italy is an accomplished fact, with Ger~
many in the background to divert the atten-
tion of France, and that the combination
have resolved not to advance an inch, but
to leave Rossia to decide whether she prefers
war or peace. It is thought that Bismarck
is now ready and anxious to precipitate a
crisis. If this opinion is well founded the
situation is more serious than even the unre-
strained wrath of the czar could have made
it. The refusal of Germany to allow her rep-
resentatives in Bulgaria to protect persons
claiming to be Russian subjects favors the
idea that Bismarck is about to drop the role
of pencemaker.

ment taken by default.
They Want an Extra Session.
Wnsmrzoros, Nov. 23. —It; is given out; by
persons who claim to know whereof they
speak, that a strong effort will be made by
labor men to secure an extra session of the
Fifticth congress, immediately after the ex-
piration of this congress on March 4 next, to
consider questions affecting labor. It is un-
derstood that petitions are being circulated
among the laboring men of the country cal.-
ing upon the president for an extra session,
and that th I labor advocates in congress will
champion it. The extra session it; lspz‘opused
shall be devoted to labor questions exclu-
sively.
